I live in a green oasis and I could not imagine life without a beautiful nature. But this night it all started to change. Early in the morning the sirens woke me up and smell of the smoke. I went cautiously in front of the house to see what was going on and close to me was a big fire.

Meanwhile the wind grew stronger and it was very difficult to fight with the flames. The people gathered whatever they had and pulled to safety. A few of us are decided to stay and defend the houses.

As the fire became bigger and bigger, it was difficult to endure the heat. It was burned a couple of houses and cars, al for all happiness without human victims.

In this fire i have seen many positive things. Most of all i loved to see human goodness and courage. When catastrophe like this and when people are believe in each other everything is possible. The most important thing in such situations is not to panic, prepare food and water, and of course helping each other as much as possible.

Honestly, these pictures brought back some memories. About 10 years ago, there were two months that my neighborhood was surrounded by uncontrollable fires. It was 2pm and the sky was bright red because of all the smoke and fire. It was raining so much ash that it looked like grey snow on the ground. Not a good time.

I hope everyone was okay during those fires. Like you said, it is during those troubling times that bring people together for a greater good.

Just as you described it looked like snow is falling
Thank @masteranibal

I was thinking about you when i saw it in the news that it's getting so close to Split!

I know there were many big fires in Croatia in previous years but if i remember correctly never so close to such a big city as Split?

Thanks @poss
Sva sreća dobro se završilo

It's hard to see this and heard that people died from this. Hope all families to pass what happened that day and your nature will back in green again.
